When you launch the Vrepair utility, an Options menu is displayed.
2 Accept the default options, or select alternate options, as appropriate.
The first time you try to repair a volume, accept the default options. If the default options fail to
repair the volume, select alternate options.
2a To accept the default options, continue with Step 3.
2b To set alternate options at the Options menu, choose Set Vrepair Options, then select
Option 2.
3 To begin the repair process, choose Repair A Volume from the Options menu.
If more than one volume is dismounted, select the volume to repair from those listed.
If only one volume is dismounted, the Vrepair utility assumes it is the volume that needs
repairing and begins the repair.
As the volume is being repaired, the server console screen displays a message indicating
vrepair activity.
4 (Optional) Modify error log settings after the repair has started.
If the Vrepair utility finds many errors during the repair process, you might want to change
some of the run-time error settings. To modify these settings after the repair has started, press
F1 to display the Current Error Settings menu.
Select Option 1 if you do not want the Vrepair utility to pause after each error.
Select Option 2 if you want the Vrepair utility to log errors in a text file.
Select Option 3 to stop the volume repair.
Select Option 4 to continue with a volume repair after you have stopped it.
5 When the repair is complete, answer Y (yes) when prompted to write repairs to the disk.
6 If the Vrepair utility has found errors, run vrepair again by repeating Step 2 through Step 5.
Repeat until the Vrepair utility finds no errors.
If you are unable to mount the volume after running the Vrepair utility several times, you must
delete the volume, then re-create the volume using Novell Remote Manager for NetWare.

Duplexing
NetWare allows you to protect your data with disk mirroring or duplexing. For information, see
Chapter 5, “Using Software RAID1 Devices for Data Fault Tolerance,” on page 35.
3.20 Using Directory Map Objects
A Directory Map object represents a particular directory in the file system. If you create a Directory
Map object to point to an application, users can access the application by mapping a drive to the
Directory Map object.
Directory Map objects can be especially useful in login scripts by indicating directories that contain
applications or other frequently used files. For instructions on creating Directory Map Objects, see
“Creating a Directory Map Object” in the ConsoleOne 1.3.x User Guide.
For example, if you have a directory that contains a word processor, you will probably map a
network-search drive to that directory in any login scripts you create. If you should later upgrade the
